We've just finished recording a new album. It was engineered and mixed by <a href="http://vibewrangler.com/">Michael Keire</a>, and recorded&nbsp;over the past year at<a href="http://www.catherinenorth.com/"> Catherine North</a> Studios and Threshold Recording Studio in Hamilton.<br /><br />We're currently putting the last minute touches on the design, and we anticipate a release early in the new year. We are planning several shows in support of the new album, and, of course, a CD release party is in the works.<br /><br />We are also in the process of redesigning the <a href="http://www.massconception.com/">Official Site</a>. The new look of this blog will give you an idea . . .<br /><br />2012 is going to be very exciting.<br /><br />Happy Holidays,<br /><br />MCJoe Cappadociahttps://plus.google.com/109095542911647107808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092286520871820446.post-74603101278277823652010-02-04T17:38:00.000-05:002010-02-04T17:43:39.263-05:00Mass Conception Live at This Ain't Hollywood<object height="285" width="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBWZE97K8oc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBWZE97K8oc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Here is some video of us playing "In This Lifetime" at <a href="http://www.thisainthollywood.ca/">This Ain't Hollywood</a> on Thursday, January 28, 2010.<br /><br />Check out our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/massconceptionvideos">YouTube Channel</a>.
